“NASCAR is back in Bakersfield”

NASCAR is back in Bakersfield with racing at the brand-new Kern County Raceway Park half-mile.
Kern County Raceway Park is a 150 acre multi-use facility under construction in Bakersfield, CA at Enos Lane and Interstate 5. The track originally began construction in 2006 but construction was halted in 2008 during the financial recession. A new ownership and investment group led by Charlie Beard, Rusty Risi, and James Vernon took over the project and the Grand Opening was on May 18th, 2013.
